“…Further, many other robot-assisted surgeries have been attempted in the various fields of OMS, especially for the treatment of head and neck cancers. Kawaguchi et al [62] reported their experience using the CyberKnife system (Accuracy Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) as a treatment option for an 88-year-old woman with synchronous cancer (oral squamous cell carcinoma and a malignant lung tumor). Radioactive particle implantation has proven effective in the treatment of cranial and maxillofacial tumors [63].…”

The term "robot" originates from the Slavic root "robot-", which means labor. The Czech writer Karel Čapek used the term to signify artificial human bodies without souls in his classic 1921 play Rossum's Universal Robots [1]. Along with other important discoveries and inventions, such as X-rays and quantum and relativity theories, the term "robot" became the cornerstone of the rise of modernism in the arts and sciences [2]. However, there is no unified definition of "robotics" in academic fields. People continue to endow it with more profound and broader meanings with the development of applications in various fields. In this review, we define robotics as a field of reprogrammable, multifunctional, multipurpose, and versatile systems intelligently linking sensing to action [3].Generally, robots can be classified based on their level of autonomy into three categories: active, semi-active, and masterslave. They can also be classified based on the type of material into two categories: hard and soft. Active systems work autonomously and undertake pre-programmed tasks, while semi-active systems allow surgeons to provide guidance and assistance to these preprogrammed robotic systems, like telerobots. Master-slave systems lack pre-programming and depend entirely on the operations of surgeons. Examples of such systems are described later in the review [4]. In terms of material, traditional (i.e., hard) robots are made of rigid hard materials, while soft robots designed to imitate the biological system in nature are made of flexible soft materials, which allow for greater flexibility, adaptability, freedom, and stronger deformation ability. Their application in the medical field also makes the interaction between the robotic system and humans more secure[3].While robots have been in the industry for several decades, their application in medicine only began in the 1990s. The first recorded medical application of a robot was in 1985 when it was used to place a needle for a brain biopsy under the guidance of computed tomography [5]. The first successful surgical robot to be applied clinically was developed in the United States [6]. Since robots are advantageous over humans in terms of accuracy, stability, safety, high dexterity, and reduction of doctors' fatigue, they have become widely used in many medical fields currently [7,8], especially in laparoscopic surgery in urology and cardiac surgery [9]. However, the application of robots in dentistry has been introduced much later compared to medicine. The introduction of new J Prosthodont Res. 2023; **(**): ****-****

“…us, dental endoscopy has also been reported for implant surgery [22]. Historical studies have shown that endoscopy can assist periodontal surgery [23], joint surgery [24], bone marrow cavity observation [25], wound repair [26,27], osteotomy [28], salivary lithotripsy [29,30], biopsy [31,32], polypectomy [33], stereotactic radiotherapy [34], tumor removal [35], and even nerve visualization [36]. It also has certain significance for oral distance teaching and telediagnosis [37].…”

Robotic and microrobotic tools such as dental operating microscopes and dental endoscopes are being used extensively in dental therapy, which have a significant impact on dental therapy and education. Herein, this paper reviews the state of the art of robotic and microrobotic tools for dental therapy. This article starts with a brief introduction of current robotic and microrobotic tools for dental therapy and then displays their applications in various dental problems; strengths and weaknesses are also surveyed. Lastly, the conclusion and outlook are discussed, referring to the emerging dental clinic problems and demands. This review is expected to provide guidelines for the therapeutic application of robotic and microrobotic tools and to promote the development of robots in dentistry.
